We can also use these classified sites to get rid of stuff for free, rather than sending it to the landfill. It always breaks my heart when I see furniture thrown out on the street to be picked up by the garbage truck when it could have easily been donated.

We had an old mattress we wanted to get rid of....we thought about donating it to Sally Ann, but apparently they stopped picking up goods...the drop off place for large items is really far too, and we don't even have a truck to transport it. So instead we offered our mattress for free on craigslist and within an hour we got rid of it....just like that. It would have otherwise costed us between 100 - 200 bucks if we wanted to hire a garbage disposal company like 1800-got junk to get rid of it. I save money, someone gets a free mattress and best of all, nothing goes to waste! I just recently got into Craigslist….it’s awesome.

I'm in the same situation, I'm looking for a crib! New ones are either of horrible quality (who would put his brand new baby in a 500$ crib that looks like it's gonna fall apart?), or they are really expensive (1000$ + for a bed that you will have to change in 3 years is crazy.) Or I can get a beautiful, solid second-hand crib that looks like new, made locally for under 300$. Buying second hand seems like a much better option to me!
